not being AD&D Psionosists, I see no prob with it except they cannot use a 
Tsar while wearing one.

As an Action adventure, I had no problems with it.  It is intense, and can 
be a Posse killer unless the Posse is really bloody careful.
The story is Railroaded, but not in a big way.  My sole problem came when 
the Posse all followed the Cyborg down so we had to do the climax 
immediatly after the meeting battle as they were pursuing it the whole time.

But most Posses won't do that.

The only problem from a running standpoint I had was that there is a lot of 
Mystery (better hope no one has Hunch, Deathspeak or Speakin' With the 
Dead) which the Posse really cannot probably solve, or if they do they 
cannot do anything about it.  No matter how good or bad they are at clue 
gathering, the outcome is the same, by script if nothing else.

Still, if you look at it as action this is not a problem

My verdict: good action adventure, if very very deadly.  I like it less 
then, say Hell or High Water, Leftovers, or Urban Renewal but it was not 
really bad.
